remember being little and thinking dandelions were fun or a pretty color or something and every adult in an 80 mile radius wouldn’t let you say that without screaming ITS A WEED

[rabbittrabbitt]

also like:

dandelions are edible, easy to grow, and are rich in vitamins a, c, k, beta-carotene, calcium, iron, manganese, and potassium

dandelions can be made into wine, tea, soft drinks, and a coffee substitute

they are used in herbal remedies to treat liver and digestive problems and as a diuretic

they’re good for bees!

they make good companion plants for various herbs and tomatoes; their long taproot helps bring up nutrients in the soil and they release ethylene gas which ripens fruit

dandelions secrete latex which means they can be used to make natural rubber 

they make great flower crowns 

[mszombi]

Why ARE they considered a weed? They’re a good flower? Who decided they were bad? =(

[pinkbaron]

lawn culture made the decision to consider dandelions weeds

Cleansing Spray

This is a super simple cleansing spray for those whose situations prevent them from burning herbs. I use this when I have to cleanse something too large that calls for an amount of smoke that’d set the smoke detectors off (it’s happened; its not fun). Here’s what you need:

Rosemary.

Sage (I use basic sage, not white sage, but you can use whatever).

A bay leaf.

Salt.

Good ‘ol H2O.

NOTE: the bay leaf is totally optional. I include it because I use bay leaves to help grant wishes. It adds a boost to the cleansing properties, and gives an oomph to the spellwork.

Directions

Put the water in a pot on the stove and toss in the salt, rosemary, sage, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce it to medium and let it simmer for a few minutes, so the oils seep out of the herbs. The wonderful scented steam will cleanse your kitchen in the process!

Once you’re satisfied (or until the water is a yellow-green color - yes, it will look like pee), take the pot off, pour the water into a safe container, and let it cool. Once it’s cool enough, bottle it up and you’re good to go! I always put some sprigs in my bottle just for the sake of it, too!

I feel like people can relate to their midheaven more than their ascendant. Because your midheaven is how you WANT people to see you, but your ascendant is how people ACTUALLY see you. Thus you may not exactly perceive yourself as being your ascendant since it’s only how OTHERS see you, not necessarily how you see yourself. While you don’t necessarily see yourself as exactly your midheaven either, you are aware of how YOU want others to see you. On top of that, your midheaven is your internet personality, so if you spend a lot of time online then you can probably see your midheaven more clearly, while you can only see your ascendant clearly if you ask friends or acquaintances to describe you.

Flower of Life Tarot Spread

Current energies

External forces/influences

Challenges/things to let go of

Strengths/things to cultivate

Messages from spirit/unseen guidance 

Outcome/future 

This is one of my first original tarot spreads and has become one of my favorites. It’s a great spread to use when you don’t have a specific question formulated, but works just as effectively with open ended questions. Enjoy!
